Among The Juniper Trees
A Crippled Prince.
A Forgotten Lieutenant.
A Pilgrim Lady.
All three seek The Tears of God; a place of miracles. But does such a place still exist in a world ravaged by plague and political backstabbing? Come look Among the Juniper Trees...
Emund Boone was never meant to be King. With an arm and leg destroyed by the plague, he was content to be The Crippled Prince. At least, until his brother Edgar dies during a munitions demonstration. Faced with a council who sees him as either a liability or a puppet, Emund seeks a miracle from the Tears of God, a place of miracles, to make him whole. He is joined by Lt. Walter Finnegan, who sought the Tears before, and Lady Antigone Thane, the woman responsible for Edgar's death. Will they find the miracles they seek Among the Juniper Trees?

A fairy tale story, promised to end fully in a second book -- there are three strong central characters in this book, and I found the plot for this one to be satisfying. I look forward to reading the second book of this duology, to see how Finnigan, Antigone, and Emund fare. There are secondary characters in this book that are obviously going to be more important in the second.
That said, the central story here is satisfying on its own, and has a closure -- a journey to find healing and forgiveness. There are evocative images in the book that paints beautiful landscapes and haunting scenes.
There were some issues with the copyediting that brought me out of the fantasy, but only a few. ("Kingsgaurd"? Did you mean to spell it that way?) A few bobbles in the writing didn't slow me down -- it was a quick read, and a character-centered adventure.

It's not subversive.
It's beautiful and elegant.
You cheer for all the right characters at all the right moments.
My hope is for my sons to be as magnanimous.
